Belleek, a type of Parian porcelain, was popularized in the United States during the 1870s, although it originated in Ireland. Typically characterized by eggshell-thin walls and an ivory-colored body, Belleek was suitable for small decorative objects such as this vase. Made by Ott and Brewer, the New Jersey company that first made American Belleek, this unusual square-neck vase displays a rare, iridescent olive-green glaze complemented by the delicately painted, Japanese-inspired decoration popularized by the Aesthetic movement.
